"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Gnerally when I used to lift I would not feel like I did enough until the muscle group was in pain. As of this week I started a new routene after some time off and I did the recommended set/reps etc. instand of gong till failure. I dont feel sore after the lift, some muscles are fatigued but overall I have more energy and feel prety good. Is this b/c I didn't push myself enough, I felt like I had a good lift, I hit a new bench high today for 1, but is the fact im not sore good or bad?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Usually for me, when starting to excerise after a week off training, i come back and have to take an easy because my body would get real sore. But a couple weeks in, i don't really get that sore anymore. And am pushing myself extremely hard on every workout. Its just your body getting used to the punishment. To answer your question, no, you don't have to be sore after you workout everytime.

What you'll discover is that certain bodyparts seem to get sore the day after training in most sessions whereas others never really do. For most people Quads are sore the day after training. If that applies to you, then you know that if they aren't sore the day after then it wasn't a good session. Although tbh it's very obvious from the session you just did whether it was a good one or not.

There isn't a meaninful correlation between soreness and quality of your workout.

It's neither good nor bad. If you felt like you had a good workout, you probably did.

persistent soreness may, however, correlate with insufficient post-workout nutrition. soreness in the first two weeks after a long layoff is to be expected.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

True if they soreness is getting worse then it probably means your body can't keep up with the repairs and you have over training. I don't get sore anymore but I can tell that my body is exhausted after working out.
